Adding Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Integration


Cisco Unity Connection can integrate a Cisco Unified Communications Manager phone system integration that has a port group of Cisco Unified CM servers and a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express server. This configuration is typically used to ensure call processing functionality at a branch office when the WAN link is down.
